BLURB:
My name is Lily Snow. I am twenty-five years old, and despite being born
with an unattractive face, I have never doubted who I am: smart, driven, and
beautiful on the inside.
Until I
met Maxwell Cole.
He’s
handsome, excessively wealthy, and the owner of Cole Cosmetics. It’s been my
dream to work for this man for as long as I can remember. The good news is he
wants to hire me. The bad news is he wants me for all the wrong reasons. Ugly
reasons.
In
exchange, he’s offered me my dreams on a silver platter. The job. The title. A
beautiful future. But this man is as messed up and ugly as they come on the
inside. I’m not sure anyone can help him, and he just might take my heart down
with him.

Excerpt Four:“Be here tomorrow morning. Keri will show you your office,” he said flatly.“You—you’re serious?”He turned and frowned at me. “Don’t go backpedaling on me now, Miss Snow. Not after you’ve just shown me your pretty little teeth and sharp claws. We might make a CEO out of you yet.”I shook my head no. “Not. Back. Pedaling.” Just wondering where the nearest exit was. Now I really felt like an idiot. I’d just proposed to my future boss that he have sex with me in exchange for my acceptance of his offer.Wasn’t it usually the other way around?And what was that other feeling? It was…shock or excitement or something connected to that little spot in my brain that controlled my sexual fantasies.“Good,” he said. “Have your ass to my house Friday at eight p.m. sharp. And bring your running clothes.”Today was Wednesday, so that meant I had two days to get psychiatric help. Wait. You’re not doing this. You can’t.“You okay?” were the words he asked, but his tone and expression accused me of being a spineless coward.I stared at him, trying to comprehend what was going through this man’s mind. Honestly, I was confused as hell. Possibly frightened, too. He, on the other hand, looked like he’d been given an injection of piss and vinegar. He also looked sort of…happy? Okay, maybe not happy, but excited or determined, like challenging me turned him the hell on. But that couldn’t be right.“Why aren’t you sweating anymore?” I asked.He blinked as if startled by himself. “It seems you’re already having a positive effect. Too bad it’s your ability to piss me the fuck off that’s doing the trick.”Speechless, I turned for the door again and grabbed the handle. I needed to retreat. I was way over my head with this situation.“Oh, and Miss Snow?”“Yes?”“Do me a favor, would you? Fire Craig on your way out. He’s the one waiting for me out there.”I blinked. “Sorry?”“It’s your first lesson in running a company: You’ll have to come down off that pedestal of yours and get your hands dirty.”
